Admiring the classsics

Cars from all eras are on display in downtown Canby today as part of the Big Weekend Cruise in by the Park

The streets of downtown Canby are packed with classic cars of all makes, models and eras as part of Saturday's Big Weekend Cruise in by the Park.

The show annually attracts more than 400 cars from all over the northwest and thousands of visitors. The show runs through Saturday afternoon and includes food vendors, music from the KISN Good Guys and fundraisers of all kinds from local organizations. One of the highlights this year is a special truck.

Prineville resident Bob Komlofske has brought his award-winning 1953 Chevy pickup, which has won awards at car shows all over the country  from Kansas City to Las Vegas. But its greatest achievement was claiming a spot in the Great 8 among finalists for the Ridler Award at the Detroit and Michigan auto show in 2012, one of the most prestigious car shows in the world.
